...with a hurricane on the way

Well, it seems fairly possible that Tropical Storm Matthew will turn into Hurricane Matthew, and it's about as likely that whatever it is at the time will hit Tegus. It's pretty guaranteed that heavy rains are on the way, probably within the next few hours. If the destructive winds, the storm proper, hits, it will be on Saturday morning, according to weather.com . Some readers may know that Honduras was hit in 1998 by another M storm, Mitch, so many folks down here are reasonably concerned when any threat of hurricane comes up. There's possibility that school could be canceled after the weekend, or maybe nothing greater than a particularly bad thunderstorm hits us in the city. But of course, it's about more than just my safety and Tegus' safety. Matthew, at the time of this writing, is basically on the coast of northern Nicaragua and is sure to hit the coast and eastern part of Honduras. Prayers for those sure to be affected are imperative.

A lot has happened since my last update. I don't want to diminish this post by getting into other stuff, but I do want to share it. Hopefully over the weekend I'll be able to update further.
